EXTREME DENSITY!!! Some of the best, proven, prepotent genetics in the United States come together in the making of this absolutely phenomenal male. Vontae's sire is our own Whistling Pines Ring of Fire, a 2-time banner winner with top 3% EPD's in 3 traits and top 6% in one other, and his 4 offspring to date have earned 11 banners, 15 blues, and 8 "best" awards. His dam is our stud female, Liza Jane, who is top 10% EPS's for 2 traits, and top 13% in 4 other, and her 3 offspring to date have earned 11 banners, 23 blue ribbons and 6 "best" awards. Vontae himself accounts for 7 banners, 11 blue ribbons, and 5 "best" awards. We have entered his shorn fleeces in several shows where he has received 4 AOA Advanced Fleece awards (scores of 80, 84, 84.5, & 84.5). On the sire's side of the pedigree we have the paternal grandsire in Crown Prince (Accoyo Crown Royale), a 5-time banner winner with 15 get-of-sire wins to his credit. On the dam's side we find the maternal grandsire in Peruvian Jeremiah (Accoyo Kalvin), with 2 Judge's Choice awards, 5 banners, and 2 get-of-sire wins; combined with Liza Jane's maternal great-grandsire Accoyo Lafite's Mont Blanc, who adds 3 Judge's Choice awards, 7 banners, 7 get-of-sire wins, and still ranks top 1% EPD's in 2 traits plus top 3% in 4 others. Most importantly is the scientific data that validates Vontae's value. His 2023 biopsy data at 34 months of age exceeded our expectations in a big way. He currently sits as the SECOND DENSEST MALE ALPACA (Suri OR huacaya!) ever tested by Alpaca Consulting USA. Density = 98.9 follicles per sq mm Secondary to primary ratio = 11.0 : 1 Primary MFD = 19.2, SD = 3.3. Secondary MFD = 15.5, SD = 2.8. 3.7 micron difference between primaries and secondaries Vontae has consistently sheared fine fleece (AFD = 17.5, 18.3, and 20.7) over 3 shearings to date, with long staple length. In 2023, Vontae was awarded the inaugural Triple Crown award from the Suri Network, representing the highest combined score of AOA's IFA show, the Suri Network fleece show, and the Suri Network spin off. Vontae's first cria have hit the ground in 2023 and they look great. All are exhibiting heavy, lustrous, fine fleeces with great handle and uniformity, and layers of the coveted wave-to-twist lock style, on rock solid frames. For the 2024 show year, they earned 4 banners, 11 blue ribbons, and a best lock award, along with 5 advanced fleece awards out of 6 fleece show entries (including a score of 86, and an 89!). The Vontae kids have added to the banner count in 2025. Vontae is proudly co-owned with Heart & Soul Alpacas!

ANDACAL Micah's Gabrielle is sired by our herdsire MMALP Micah. Micah has not sired a lot of crias, but in all that he has sired the fleeces have had outstanding organization with an amazing, advanced lock structure. Four-time banner winner and full Peruvian Micah is an outstanding grandson of the great herdsire Pucara Kahuna. Micah's sire's dam LCA Elana comes from great genetics and also has quite the show record herself winning 4 banners and placing first at The Futurity. Elana was sired by Grand Marnier, a MacGyver son, and a two-time banner winner. Putting Kahuna and Elana together produced Kahuna's Casper, Micah's sire. Casper won a total of 10 banners in his show career, a Judge's Choice, and a first place at the AOBA National Fleece Show. The bottom half of Micah's pedigree is nice too. His dam Synergy's Duchess is a Sierra Bonita's MacGyver's Synergy daughter and while she was never shown herself, her sire Synergy has produced a multitude of champions. So, it's a definite that the top half of Gabrielle's pedigree is loaded with championship and prepotent genetics. Gabrielle's dam, Black Beau's Ariana, also brings superb luster, a great phenotype, and outstanding fleece characteristics to the pairing with Micah. Ariana has great EPDs from top to bottom, but especially for fineness and uniformity. She has had Top 1% EPD ranking for AFD, SF and MSL. In addition to those, she has top 25% or better for all the other EPDs. Ariana comes by that fineness through her dam Lianka as she is from a fine micron lineage of alpacas that start with the herdsires Sedoso on top and Huacho on the bottom. Lianka herself has Top 2% EPD rankings for AFD, SF, and %>30. From her full name one can tell that Ariana is sired by Black Beau of PVA who is from that great dark lineage. Black Beau is also known for producing fineness and that is understandable considering Ariana's rankings are better than her dam. Overall, this means that Gabrielle inherited great fleece characteristics from both the top and the bottom of her pedigree. It's no wonder with the great genetics found in her pedigree that Gabrielle always had great potential. She has a great Suri phenotype with great fleece coverage from her ears to her toes. She has a great Suri head style. Her fleece is fine, dense, lustrous, and organized. She inherited the good size of her sire, and we feel she will be an outstanding production female. She was not only a banner winner, but also was awarded Judge's Choice at the 2022 GWAS halter show. Gabrielle had her first cria on 8/4/23. It was a 21 lb male sired by Zoltar and he shows a lot of promise. He has both a gorgeous fleece and phenotype. We feel he should be a future herdsire for someone. Gabby had a 17.6 lb light fawn female cria sired by Whistling Pines Vontae Mack on 9/7/2024. We co-own this girl with Whistling Pines Ranch as part of the deal to get her bred to Vontae Mack. She is gorgeous and we are looking forward to watching her mature.
